The Harwich Railway and Shipping Museum has since become a separate entity with its own board of trustees and financial independence.

The project's buildings (nachbau der mayflower) - which were based within a former railway station - were instead given a new lease of life as a heritage museum. By July 2017, according to the annual trustees' report, the idea of building a sea-going vessel had been formally shelved and a rail and shipping centre idea brought centre stage. And instead of a sea-faring vessel, a land-based replica was now the aim. For rail expert Bob Clow, the chance to restore the railway station to its 1920s heyday was too good to pass up. "I had looked at Harwich station 20 years ago with the objective of doing exactly what we're doing now," he said. "When we started, I knew there was a lot of problems with the Mayflower Project," he said. But because he was only involved in the heritage centre side of it, Mr Clow pressed ahead and has seen his designs for the recreated 1924 station come to fruition. Liegt in der Grafschaft Essex. An der Mündung der Flüsse Stour und Orwell und lange der einzig sichere Ankerplatz zwischen Themse und Humber.
